Removing Carbon on your Bumper from Exhaust
Hello all I tryed to search for removing carbon but no luck. Anyways I wanted to know what everyone uses to remove the carbon on there bumper mine seems to be getting blacker and blacker every day I heard turpintine and water will do it but it can also of course hurt your paint . So I wanted to know if anyone else had stuff they used to remove the carbon from there bumper like orange clean or something ? Thanks for reading and thanks for replys which I hope there is cuz I know this is a problem.

I just cleaned mine today with some good rubbing compound. Came right off and looks good. And remember my car is white, so it shows up worse than anyother color.

I also would like to know a good solution to this problem. I have a white FD and no matter how much I wash it, "soot" builds up on the bumper over time. Polishing, rubbing compound, turpentine, etc will clean it off, but that strips the wax off, or some of the paint.
Anyone know of a mild way to clean the black off of the rear bumper??

diluted castrol super clean (come in a gallon bottle)
That's exactly what I use on my white car. It works great and is so easy. Just spray then wipe.
